    I'm tagging this diary too and I've noticed this author says a lot about what other units are doing. Ordinarily, you wouldn't get much mention of trenches in an RHA diary, as they wouldn't have been manning them, but it's interesting to get the detail of what the other units the brigade is with are doing. In this case, it could also be one of the first times the cavalry have effectively fought as infantry. Perhaps that's why the author mentioned it.
